In the ongoing tensions between the United States and its European allies over the war with Iran, President Donald Trump has called NATO allies "cowards" for refusing to directly support the U.S. and Israel's efforts in the Middle East.
In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump wrote, "Without the U.S.A., NATO IS A PAPER TIGER! They didn't want to join the fight to stop a Nuclear Powered Iran. Now that fight is Militarily WON, with very little danger for them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don't want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices. So easy for them to do, with so little risk. COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER! President DONALD J. TRUMP."
